Delta opioid receptors on nociceptive sensory neurons mediate peripheral endogenous analgesia in colitis
Abstract Background Inflammatory visceral pain is endogenously controlled by enkephalins locally released by mucosal CD4+ T lymphocytes in mice. The present study aimed at identifying opioid receptor(s) expressed on nociceptive sensory nerves involved in this peripheral opioid-mediated analgesia. Me...
